Netflix‘s Squid Game 2 was ruthlessly slammed by viewers, with some calling it “hot garbage.” The highly anticipated series was criticized for its slow pacing, underwhelming games, and controversial ending. The backlash follows scandals involving cast members, including Lee Jin-wook‘s contentious casting despite a past sexual assault accusation.
The second season of the South Korean dystopian survival thriller horror television series was released on Netflix on Thursday (December 26th).
While the first season of Squid Game broke records as Netflix’s most-watched series and dominated viewing charts in 94 countries, the second season appears to be faltering, facing widespread criticism from fans over its content.
